It looks like you made a copy/paste error below. Your ata.frame should
be data.frame.

Good morning.
Novice usR. Here.
I am following this string, among many, learning as I go.
Quick question please?
I thought that perhaps ata.frame was part of the zoo pkg, b/c when I
searched it came up in help?
However, evidently not or I am not using it properly.
Please advise, thank you.
x <- list(A=data.frame(x=1:2, y=3:4),B=data.frame(x=5:6,y=7:8))
x2 <- do.call(rbind, lapply(names(x), function(z)
ata.frame(type=z, dat[[z]])))
#Error in ata.frame(type = z, dat[[z]]) : could not find function
"ata.frame"
?ata.frame
??ata.frame #Looks like it’s part of the zoo package?
install.packages("zoo")
#Typo: dat[[z]] should be x[[z]]:
x <- list(A=data.frame(x=1:2, y=3:4),B=data.frame(x=5:6,y=7:8))
x2 <- do.call(rbind, lapply(names(x), function(z)
ata.frame(type=z, x[[z]])))
#Error in ata.frame(type = z, dat[[z]]) : still cannot find function
"ata.frame"?

Hi Kevin,
There is probably a better way, but it can be done in two steps like this
temp <- list(A=data.frame(x=1:2, y=3:4),B=data.frame(x=5:6,y=7:8))
temp <- lapply(names(temp), function(n, temp) {
temp[[n]]$type <- n
return(temp[[n]])
}, temp = temp)
do.call(rbind, temp)
